First of all His name wasn't Martin Luther. It was Michael. His father changed his name and his son's name. He never legally changed his name and he lived and died as Michael King. While working on his dissertation for his doctoral degree at Boston University, he heavily plagiarized from another author who had done research on a subject similar to King's. An academic committee later found that over half of King's work was plagiarized, yet would not revoke his doctorate. As King was dead by this time, the committee ruled that revoking the title would serve no purpose. King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech was also not his own. He stole it from a sermon by Archibald Carey, a popular black preacher in the 1950's.

King was under FBI surveillance until he died due to his ties with communist organizations throughout the country. King accepted money from the organizations to fund his movements. In return, King had to appoint communist leaders to run certain districts of his SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference), who then could project their communist ideas to larger audiences. One of King's closest friends, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book in 1989 in which he talked about King's obsession with white prostitutes, Often hiring two to three prostitutes at a time and occasionally he would brutally beat them. King would also use church donations to have drunken sex parties, yet he was married with four children.

It makes me ill hearing prominent Americans such as Mitt Romney and Scott Walker praising Michael Kings work. Had they the slightest clue what this man has really done, they would not be so enthusiastic about MLK day. Perhaps it is time for Americans to face the facts about this fraud and find someone more worthy to celebrate. I suggest we replace MLK day with a more deserving figure.

Martin Luther King Jr was a filthy commie.

We are learning about him in History and my teacher says he was sent by Elvis to cause strife and distrust throughout our country. I also support Donald Trump and the KKK. Martin Luther King is basically Stalin because he had all his followers pledge to support him and all he did. Even when he used church funds from the parish committee to buy hookers. Now that wouldn't fly in my hometown of Leslie, Kentucky. Yeah and he was also hitler b/c of the 'stash.

Michael King was a fraud, plain and simple

If he were alive today Boston University would revoke his Doctorate, He was never a reverend, he was a member of the communist party, He stole speeches from others and twisted some words to make it appear as his own, the same way he wrote his books by using other people's work.

And having people celebrate a man BY MANDATE who was a fraud is one of the greatest injustices the world has ever seen.

Was the character he created himself out to be motivating to American blacks? Yes it was, but I believe truth is more important than any other aspect of of any story.

If the man was honest he could have been as powerful without the FAKE PHD. He never earned, even though Boston says revoking it now wouldn't serve any purpose. Start seeking the truth, it will shock you.

How do you define fraud?

If you take race out of it and the fact he was shot andkilled, then all that is left is the famous speech. It was this speech that affected our nation the most but if the words of this speech were not his own, but "lifted," then why does he get all the glory. In my book, anyone who takes credit for others work and words is a total fraud.

Yes, he was a self proclaimed marxist

He preached differently from the pulpit, but he attended communist training, proposed government enforcement of race-based quotas in the workplace, wanted to do away with free market capitalism, and admitted and freely discussed his Marxist/Leninist leanings to his colleagues. During the height of the cold war, this would effectively make him a traitor.In addition, he predicted and pushed for a national welfare program designed to keep blacks destitute and dependent upon the govt and upon black civil leaders such as himself, contrary to his "colorblind" rhetoric.Many of the people who lionize him are repeating only what they have learned from public schools and the mass media. I encourage them to do some extensive research on their own, and come to their own conclusions as to the motives and agenda of those who suppress negative truths about him while creating a cult of personality around him

MLK did good for his people...But

Martin Luther king Jr. Did a good service for his people and I dont disagree with that fact. He also was a "Christian Pastor" who did not condone gay marriage as the Bible clearly states it is a sin against god. Gay/lesbian relations have no procreation regardless of color. It bothers me when people compare MLK and his movement on racism and segregation with civil rights movement for the gays. I dont believe in gay marriage and especially don't believe in gay adoption. What the hell is wrong with this country. I don't care who is gay....If you want a husband or a wife it should be with the opposite sex.....And if you want children...That's why you need a husband or wife of the opposite sex. We need to stop teaching our. Children that being gay/lesbian is ok and acceptable. It isn't it is wrong

Believe what you will

Those of us who lived through Michael King’s exploits know full well what he was, and it’s not what he is portrayed to be today. The man, as a preacher mind you, denied the virgin birth of Christ. He absolutely did plagiarize his works, he absolutely did have communist ties, and his last night on earth was spent in the company of white prostitutes spouting phrases such as, “im a negroe god tonight.” Preached on thing, did another. Sorry folks, I just can’t swallow that pill.

Just another phony hero sold to a naive public

The overwhelming evidence indicates that this scumbag sex criminal and plagiarist was fast tracked to a position of notoriety and prominence by the talmudic imf family for their own purposes, which can only be speculated upon based on what one can see as a result of mlk's "legacy", as it were. One can find a very similar situation with another so-called "champion" of civil rights, mohandas ghandi, who in reality happened to be a racist, a persistent warmongerer, and, like mlk, also a sex criminal.

Opportunist took people for a ride

He was a drug using adulterer who fleeced congregations for money to support his lifestyle. He used civil rights as an umbrella for one of the biggest scams ever. He played the black community for suckers and they honor him with a day in January. There are many more black leaders who should be celebrated more than him.

It was thanks to his amazing stance that this country was forever changed. He went out of his way and fought for the rights of people who did not have them. Because of his desire and dream, it leads to future civil and equal right movements. Such as gay rights and women's right. He paved the way for equal rights and changed the foundation of this nation for ever.

For one, that is DOCTOR King to you, Mr. Man. For two, Dr. King helped ensure civil rights for people of all colors. For three, he modeled a civil form of disobedience called civil disobedience. For four, you sound like you hate colored. For five, all people are colored people, so join reality. For six, only a bigot would oppose freedom for slaves, including the right to equal protection under the law. For seven, READ THE 14TH AMENDMENT, CUZ YOU PISSING ME OFF!

The man was braver than any of us.

Martin Luther King Jr. Did some of the bravest things ever saw not for Black people, but for ALL people. Unlike the NAACP filth, and the anti-white Al Sharpton, Martin wanted everyone to be equal, and loved White People as much as Black People. Lets hope all Black People remember his true message.

Of course not

Martin Luther King, Jr. AKA Michael King was not a fraud. There are many historical evidence that he did all the things that he did. He did give a speech about his dreams for the future and how it would look like. It didn't go exactly of how he dreamed of how there is equality of all races today, but he affected the nation to this day.

Michael King no Fraud

Michael King was a well-meaning man who spoke out against cruelty based on race. If he had not been shot, he would have been just another well-meaning man who helped win some benefits for black Americans, like Rosa Parks. Instead, he become some kind of martyr, honored because he had the bad luck to get shot.
